An opening I don't know the name of

I LOVE playing d4 as my first move. My IM coach has analyzed my playing style and has shown me many moves for the opening I like to play but has never actually told me the name of it. I'm pretty sure it is some kind of variant of the Queen's Gambit or a "distant cousin" of it.

Can any one tell me what it is?

Here are 2 situations in which I play it.

1. d4 d5 2. e3 e6 3. c4 

2. d4 d5 2. e3 e6 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. c4

StoneWall attack and Colle system but with c4 just thrown in there which isn't bad thoughsince transposes the the QG Quiet variation.
