Anybody know what would cause this? I know i'm in need of new pads.....but i don't think that would cause the light to come on. Let me know what ya'll think.

The ABS light usually means there is a hard failure in one of the curcits. The most common problem is a broken wire leading to one of the wheel sensors. The next most common problem is the sensor itself failing. The easiest way to determine what is setting the light is to have the codes checked. You normally can't do this with a basic scan tool, you will need to take it to someone that has a scanner with the ability to read ABS codes.
