    My lawn and back hill are full of what ever that is. It spreads all over the place.

    It could also be some sort of Ajuga. They're horrible weeds.

    I'd vote with Droopy and say its Ajuga. Your going to have a real problem getting rid of it I'm afraid. :(

    I really think it's Prunella Vulgaris. Do you have a closer photo poppy?
