Hello. I have residential FiOS 50/25 and want to host my two web sites on my own server in my house. As such I need two static IP addresses. How can I obtain them? Thanks.

Static IP addresses are only available on a business accout.
FYI, it's against VZ's Terms Of Service (TOS) to run servers on a residential accout, although I've never seen anyone post that they've been terminated for doing so.
Your other option is to get a free account with http://dyn.com/. They will give you free domain name(s) such as mydomain.dyndns.com which will resolve to your dynamic IP address.

Strictly speaking your TOS states you are not allowed to do that but I guess you are just testing.
To do what you are trying to test you need to get a dynamic dns account which you will assign to your router - this will effectively give you a static dns name. Then build your web servers listening on different ports and build port forwarding rules on the router to forward incoming traffic for the 2 ip ports to the relevant internal ip addresses for your server/s.
i assume you purchased your domain names from some supplier. You would need to set up your web sites on the supplier with a site forwarding set up to your dynamic dns name followed by a colon and the listener ip port number.
