Parts of my yard are taken over...It's getting crazy..I dig them up, they come back. Any solutions? Or is this something I am going to have to deal with and mow over?

You can't unless you dig up the entire root, blulb and all.. If you leave even a piece of root in the ground it will regrow.
So unless you have a lot of time on your hands, just keep mowing.

The digging up part is about the only thing that I found works, you just have to make sure to get all the little bulblets.Risky suggestion .. try total vegetation killer and reseed the lawn after 4 weeks?! Try not to water the area ,also

Dig the bulb out.
Or, get ORTHO brush and weed killer and try that. That might just work, but you need to get to the bulb.
