Storing integers in an IBAction and passing them to another IBAction

Question

I have a pause IBAction & a resume IBAction, both for buttons, but I have game points I collect over the duration of the game play. How can I store the different game points integer values in the pause IBAction & pass them to the resume IBAction method.

NOTE: The pause IBAction invalidates all the NSTIMERS, and the resume IBAction recreates them.

Just to assist, I found a quick solution....but I'm sure there's a cleaner method:

In the vc.h:

NSMutableArray storeVariables;

In the vc.m

int a, b, c, d;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
 [super viewDidLoad];
 a=0;
 b=0;
 c=0;
 d=0;
 storeVariables = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
}

-(IBAction)pauseButton:(id)sender{
 a=3;
 b=4;
 c=5;
 d=6;
 [storeVariables addObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:a]];
 [storeVariables addObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:b]];
 [storeVariables addObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:c]];
 [storeVariables addObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:d]];
 NSLog(@"%d, %d, %d, %d", storeVariables[0], storeVariables[1], storeVariables[2], storeVariables[3]);
}

-(IBAction)resumeButton:(id)sender{
 a = [storeVariables[0]];
 b = [storeVariables[1]]
 c = [storeVariables[2]]
 d = [storeVariables[3]]
 NSLog(@"%d, %d, %d, %d", a, b, c, d);
 storeVariables = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
}
