They curently live with their father and I live in another state. Gave him a week notice that I was coming out to visit and that I wanted to take them for an hour after school. He is refusing to let me see them.

If your children's father will not allow you visitation and some semblance of custody with your children per a standing court order, your legal option is to file a petition with the court to have the father found in contempt of a court order. Given the seriousness of what is happening, you should consult with a family law attorney for assistance and guidance.
