I can't answer this based on the facts you've given. Are we talking about property individually owned by your husband or property owned jointly by the two of you? What does his will leave to you?

If your Wills, like so many, leave things first to the spouse and to the children only if the spouse is dead, the Will of the surviving spouse will govern.
If your Wills leave something to the spouse and something to the children, your husband's Will will determine how his assets pass while yours will determine how your assets pass.
Perhaps you should discuss this further.
