A much better way to do this is to directly edit the focused style in expression blend. This tutorial will help you out.

Add the GotFocus event handler to the TextBox like this.

private void TextBox_GotFocus(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        (sender as TextBox).Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Blue);
    }
