Answers:
Both your mother and your father donate one gene that goes toward your eye color!. Brown (B) is a dominant eye color gene and blue/green/grey/etc (b) are non-dominant!. For you to have blue eyes, both of your parents had to give you the non-dominant blue gene = (bb)!. You can only donate the non-dominant blue eyed gene (b) to your offspring!.
Because brown is a dominant eye color gene, it will overpower blue!. So, if both genes given to your boyfriend by his parents were brown (BB), he can only donate a brown gene (B) to your child and it will have brown eyes!. (For instance 2 genes for brown eyes given by parents looks like BB - brown eyed child, two blue would be bb - blue eyed child, and one brown and one blue would be Bb - brown eyed child!.)
HOWEVER, if one parent gave him a brown eye color gene (B), and the other gave him a blue eye color gene (b), while your boyfriend will have brown eyes, he carries the recessive blue eyed gene in his body and there is a chance you could have a blue eyed child if that's the gene his body donates to the offspring!. His body will donate one or the other!. Which one has nothing to do with the dominance in the gene - it's a 50/50 chance for either!.
But he must carry the non-dominant gene!. Just because everyone in his family has brown eyes, does not mean the non-dominant gene has not passed down the line from parent to child many times and hidden by the dominant brown gene from the other parent in each couple!. It's not likely, but it could happen!.
However, there must be the non-dominant blue gene somewhere in his ancestry for it to be even remotely possible!. Even two people with brown eyes can have a blue eyed child if both parents carry the recessive blue gene and both donate that particular gene to that particular child!. (Father Bb + Mother Bb = possible offspring with: BB - brown eyed child, Bb - brown eyed child, or bb - blue eyed child!. :-)

Brown is dominant!.
My husband has almost black eyes and mine are greyish-blue!. Our oldest has golden or amber colored eyes, the middle one's look chocolate, and the youngest has the same as dad's!.
His parents have brown on both sides all the way back!. Mine parents are blue-eyed and blue runs on both sides of my dad and blue on my mom's dad's (blue) and brown and blue on my mom's mom's (brown) side!. (including my mom; 2 of the kids have brown and 2 of them blue-- so blue is possible but has to exist somewhere on both sides)Www@Answer-Health@Com
