anyone with advice regarding dating a Mom with 2 kids?

ok so i met this girl a couple months ago(3 or 4) she is 26 years old and im 22, its a long distance relationship kinda thing, she lives like 250 Miles from me so its a trip to go see her and stuff, we have everything going for us, we talk constantly and almost never run out of things to say, and are in to each other alot, and very sexually compatible. both have been hurt in the past and i don't want to hurt her or let myself get hurt.

she has 2 kids a boy and a girl both under the age of 10, really cool kids. All my friends are warning me that its a bad idea to get into something with her because she has 2 kids.

At first i didn't really think anything of it, i mean its just 2 kids right? nothing wrong with someone having 2 kids, but the closer i get to her the more i feel unsure deep down inside of me, like she always puts the kids prioity overprioritych i understand and do encourage that the kids should always be top priority no mater what.

The thing with her Ex doesnt bdoesn'tme cause well she doesnt talk to him or see him, the kids are transfered the 2 separated parents via school bus. plus if she got back with him it would hurt me but i would completely understand and be some what happy for her if she is happy.

all i want to do is not hurt her and make her happy, but i dont know, at first the kids weren't effecting me but the closer i get to her the worse the feeling gets. plus i havnt told my parents she has 2 kids, cause well the rule is in my book, if my friends are worried about it then my parents are going to explode.

what should i do, keep seeing and maybe the feeling will go away? i dont want to string her along and waste her/my time, but then again i do want her in my life she does make me very much happy.

ive already talked to her about this and she understands and is happy im being completely honest and open with her which makes me feel a bit better, she also expressed that she would never ask me to try and replace the father figure in the kids lives and thats up to me if i want to ever do that if we last to the point.

i really like this girl and she is like my perfect fit, into everything im in to, the only thing that worries me about her is the 2 kids and i dont know why.

can someone just please tell me something that will make the feeling go away? i like this girl alot really dont want to lose her.
