Sure, go for it, Don. The more common plants will be easier. The ones I have here will go from an unrooted cutting to filling a 6 inch pot in about a year, and they tend to flower at any size. Your summers sound a lot like ours, heat-wise.
Give your plants some protection when they first go outside in the spring, as the transition from indoor sun to outdoor sun can be hard on many plants. The difference is mostly due to the fact that regular window glass blocks most of the UV (thus filters sunlight to be kinder to plants), and also that indoor plants get less visible light because a window forms a limited aperture.
When you move your indoor succulents out for the first time in the spring, start them out in mostly shade, or filtered light, or maybe some morning sun, but keep them out of the way of overhead sun and most sun in general for a few weeks while they adjust to the changes. You'll find this process is much easier on the plants if you do it gradually and stepwise, little increments with pauses in between, and you'll benefit from direct visual inspection of your growing area as the angle of the sun in the sky changes over the course of the year.
