Thanks so far for everyone's help, we got a letter the other day stating out I-130 is being processed and in the queue. Now that that is in the works,how soon should I apply for my 2 children's citizenships? They were born here but I'm an American as previously stated it's just a matter of a bit of confirmation? Would that be a correct statement? Thanks in advance to all that have helped this far.

Not quite that simple.  As others said earlier, you will get the kids a CRBA (Consular Report Of Birth Abroad) and their U.S. passports at a U.S. Embassy branch in Australia.  Go to their website and follow the instructions there.  There is a process to follow including forms to fill and supporting documents.
