Thanks guys for all your help.

I looked over my circuit again and saw that I wasn't using the pull down resistor properly so it was left floating....ugh I feel so stupid now...lol

Anyways I appreciate your help.

ONE LAST THING.....

I am trying to have multiple ports on at the same time....

portc.2 to turn on along with portc.0
portc.3 to turn on along with portc.1

what's the code for that? and can you explain the binary code with it?
