The mosquitos are bad this year . I am thinking of screening in the porch the wife said it will look like crap. any thoughts or photo shop pics? She is thinking of adding a roof structure to the decked area and screening that . I have told her that tying in to the roof line would be a huge PITA.

There's no good way to tie in a shed roof next to that gable roof. If you are wanting to add a roof over the portion of porch thats not covered, I would recommend tearing the gable roof down an building a shed roof across the whole porch. You could add a gable feature back into it if you want that look.

Add a screen porch to the back of the house. The front of the house looks nice, and there is no way to add a screen porch to the front without wrecking the clean/simple look.

Screen porches are for the back of the house where people can't see it. :D

This.
Having a screened porch on the front, aside form looking odd, will be pretty awkward. It means anybody coming to the house has to go through the screened porch to knock on the door. While that might seem a good way to ward off strangers and salesmen, it's also difficult to see if even it's just a buddy who came by.
