PLEASE Help Identify My Weeds!

I need some BIG TIME help with some weed identification! I am pretty sure the lawn is Bermuda & I am located in N.W. Louisiana.

If it weren’t for these weeds, I wouldn’t have to mow half as much as I do now…they grow ALOT quicker than the grass in my yard.

For some reason, the weeds are in almost a offset square sort of pattern in my yard rather than covering the whole yard. I am not real sure how that happened but I tried to get a pic of it to show. Also, here are a couple different weeds I have a problem with…

(Weed #2)http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y158/bassadict69/P5120023.jpg

Is there anything that will take care of all three of these weeds but not harm the bermuda?

I dont know what the weeds are but I have used atrazine on dormant bermuda with real good results as a premerge.I spray my yard in Oct. then again in Feb. Also live in NWLA.

I may try that next year, but the bermuda is definately not dormant anymore! I would love to try something to get rid of these weeds.

From what was posted earlier, my biggest problem is annual bluegrass or from what I have read, it is also called poa annua. Now, I just need to find something I can afford that will kill it.
