The correct sentence is "she picked ours up"...
When you use a phrasal verb in a sentence and you also have a compliment, that compliment has to go in between the verb and the preposition from the phrasal verb.
I hope I helped you.  _________________ Custo |

Many phrasal verbs can actually be split, for example:
She picked the box up
She picked up the box
So in this case both of your sentences are fine. |
