Are your kids still here? why didn't your spouse file for them the same time as you? I believe you'd have to file I-130 along with AOS package...(see the guides)

I hope I'm understanding this wrong, but your children have been in the US illegally for years now!? What's their immigration status currently?

How old are they?

Sounds like your kids have overstayed and are here illegally. If so I'd get a immigration lawyer.

When you got married to a USC and applied for AOS why did you not file for your children at that point? You are going to have to file to adjust their status as they are here illegally.

How do you hide 2 kids from your new wife if they are here with you??? I would suggest you seek help from an immigration lawyer as there are aspects of your case that don't make sense. Did you deliberately use a tourist visa to enter the US? how did you hide your children from USCIS when you filled for AOS? as you have to list all children on the application form no matter where they live? If you lied to USCIS all the way through your Greencard and citizenship applications then your own citizenship is at risk.

You need to get expert help from a good immigration lawyer.

TayRivers has a good point. You technically committed fraud on your adjustment of status application by omitting the fact that you have children in the US and your legality in the US, first as a permanent resident and now as a citizen may be in jeopardy.

I can't believe you would do that to your children. I'm sorry to be judgmental but do they even have social security nos? Are they going to school? Do they have healthcare?
