This does not always hold true.

Mom & Dad both blue eyes
5 kids 3 girls all had green eyes, 2 boy both with blues eyes.

That ratio of 25:75 blue eyes:brown eyes in a family worked in my Dad's case. His three sisters all had brown eyes, he as the only boy had blue eyes.

A geneticist would say that either your mom or your dad actually had greenish or hazel eyes that just looked blue, but were not "true blue" (2 recessive genes) eyes.
